there is definitely a different feel to the baftas this year. it is a sombre and serious mood with the time's up campaign and it does change the emphasis of the awards. it is notjust a case of who will win what, but who will say what. who will capture the mood and spirit of these times as oprah winfrey did at the golden globes? the answer turned out to be frances mcdormand who gave a mischievous, witty, potent acceptance speech. i have a little trouble with compliance. laughter. but i want you to know that i stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. i also want to say that i appreciate a well—organised act of civil disobedience. power to the people. she won for her role in three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. start up a database. as soon as he did something wrong, cross—reference it and make 100% certain it was a correct match, and then kill him. the american—set british film was a big winner. lam humbled. best original screenplay for the film's london—born irish director. and the top award. what we are most proud of about
